Jindra Jehu grew up in East Dorset. After a formal art training, she started her career teaching art to adults and post 16s in Hampshire. In 2001 she moved back to Dorset with her young family. She continues to teach art part-time whilst developing her practice. Jindra regularly exhibits in shows in the South West and further afield. In July 2017 Jindra took part in a residency at Brisons Veor where she was able to spend uninterrupted time developing work on and around Cape Cornwall. Following the success of her first solo exhibition in 2016 at Bridport Art Centre she organised and curated an exhibition entitled 'Drawn In' which sought to explore the nature of drawing through the work of nine artists working in diverse disciplines. Soon after she was selected to be part of a DVA touring exhibition and publication called 'Drawing on Dorset'. She is a member of Wesca (Wessex Contemporary Arts).

Working on a beach drawing at Kimmeridge, Dorset. Seaweed, feathers and other found object are employed in place of brushes to apply acrylic and ink to paper. "I am facinated by the quality of different marks that these objects bring. The drawings have a particular energy, due in part to not having complete control over every mark made. I enjoy that the drawings made on location have been made, in part by the place and have a physical connection to it." June 2016
